Since the interim results at the beginning of August, shares in high street bakery chain Greggs (GRG) have largely gone sideways. But that shouldn't detract from the fact the share price has largely recovered from its post-referendum drop - a trend suffered by most of Britain's domestically-focused retailers. That's largely the results of a solid set of quarterly results, which were followed in quick succession by the half-year numbers, which revealed like-for-like sales growth of 3.8 per cent despite tough comparatives.
It's perhaps no surprise, therefore, to see finance director Richard Hutton offloading a little more than 41,000 shares, netting himself £432,285 in the process. However, that still leaves Mr Hutton in control of 36,924 shares or 0.037 per cent of the company.
